Answer: $\frac{2\sin(x^2)}{x}$
Apply FTC Part 1 combined with the Chain Rule: If $h(x) = \int_1^{u(x)} f(t)\,dt$, then $h'(x) = f(u(x)) \cdot u'(x)$. Here $u(x) = x^2$, $u'(x) = 2x$, and $f(t) = \frac{\sin(t)}{t}$. Compute the result: $h'(x) = \frac{\sin(x^2)}{x^2} \cdot 2x = \frac{2\sin(x^2)}{x}$. Option B is correct. Why distractors fail: Option A omits the chain rule factor $2x$. Option C substitutes $x$ rather than $x^2$ into the integrand. Option D correctly includes $2x$ but drops the denominator $t$ from the integrand, as if integrating $\sin(t)$ alone.
